This dish is gluten-free as long as wheat free tamari (soy sauce) is used.

To prepare:

Steam the washed chopped kale for about 10 minutes, until the leaves are soft and bright green. Put into a serving bowl. Sprinkle the finely chopped toasted walnuts and red onion on top, season with salt or tamari, toss and serve. It’s that simple.
